An outstanding debt is now the least of a 19-year-old man's worries after he was arrested on Sunday night for allegedly robbing the man he owed money to and then shooting at the man.

Jordan D. Barger, of Silver Springs Shores, reportedly owed Matthew Allen Glickman, 22, money. Glickman drove to the Shores, where he met Barger in the 600 block of Silver Road just before 8:30 p.m. Glickman got out of the Ford minivan he was driving and approached Barger. When Glickman asked for the money he was owned, Barger reportedly pulled out a chrome handgun and demanded Glickman's money. Glickman handed over $100, got back in the van and drove off, according to Marion County Sheriff's Office reports.

After calling 911, Glickman drove back to the area to try and spot Barger so he could tell law enforcement where to find him. Barger, who was on foot, spotted the van and approached. The pair began arguing again and Barger reportedly pulled the gun again, fired once and ran off. The bullet shattered the back driver's side window, reports state.

The Sheriff's Office called in its helicopter and deployed K-9 officers in search of Barger.

A separate caller told 911 dispatchers that they saw a man running behind a home at 66 Sapphire Road. Deputies found Barger inside the home, breathing heavily and sweating profusely. He was identified by Glickman and a passenger in the van.

Barger was booked into the Marion County Jail on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one count each of robbery with a firearm, shooting into an occupied vehicle, carrying a concealed weapon and criminal mischief. He was being held Monday afternoon on $75,500 bond.
